I remember well wanting to "collect them all". I came pretty close, but am missing a few I think. I probably bought my last figure in 1984. At that point I was 13, and wasn't playing with toys anymore.
My dad collected them in the 80s 90s he got them all except Blue Snaggletooth. But that set was never released where we are. So technically got every figure available. The last figure he needed was R2D2 popup lightsaber, I remember him getting it at a vintage toy fair, $50. Seems like a bargain now But it was the most expensive single star wars item he ever bought
When I was a kid, I received these toys every birthday and christmas. In the end, I had most of them. The collection came to over 15 large moving boxes. After growing up and dealing with real life issues, I had to move into a small 2 bedroom place with a roommate and found I had no place to store my collection. I ended up donating everything to Children's Hospital of Orange County. Sometimes, I want to kick myself for doing that. Other times, I hope they brought as much happiness to those kids like they did for me.
Watching these on a binge watch on a Saturday night.. Best sat night I've had In ages.. Thankyou.. Bloody great uploads..spoilt for choice of which to watch first.. Obv this was second watch but would been first had I not been notified about six million dollar man first.. Great uploads. Absolutely fantastic watch.
The original 12 Kenner Star Wars figures where great character choices that allowed playtime to be a joy. Followed up with a great Boba Fett promotion just made this an exciting time to be a kid. I was very lucky to be of the right age to enjoy the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back lines. Unfortunately the Jedi Line was disappointing and I gravitated to G.I. Joe ARAH. This was a thoughtful overview of Kenner's Star Wars toys and your love of these toys shows in this videos quality. Thanks for your hard work and inspiration to produce better quality videos.
Analog Toys I had a Luke Skywalker and a Darth Vader action figures. Also a X-wing fighter. Press R2-D2 HEAD down and the wings opened into x-wing configuration. It was/IS AWSOME SOUND EFFECTS AND ALL. The big tall ones.
I think that's exactly what happened to me. The Return of the Jedi movie was great for me but the toys were lacking a certain charm to me. I still requested them but got more and more disappointed by them.
@@darthwizzywizard something about the stances bothered me. o wide. I loved the star wars figures and empire figures so much more. I would say the rotj had more interesting things going on character wise tough.
I have sooo many of the first ones. My dad used to collect them. That means I have the first luke!the milinium falcon still works!boba feTT ANDDDDD SOO MUCH MORE
That AT-AT is one of my all-time favorite toys ever!! I remember getting it for Christmas in '81 and being beyond excited! I spent many, many hours playing with my Star Wars figures and adding the AT-AT to my collection, took it to another level.
God, I remember sending in for those special mail-order figures & accessories! Any business today that took that long to deliver its stuff would, well, go *out* of business!
This is a process called Vacuum Metallization. It’s actually not paint! In my layman’s understanding I believe that actual metal molecules are applied onto the figure by exposing them both to an extreme vacuum. The gold (or silver or whatever) adheres to the surface. This is the process used to chrome lots of stuff.
Horrendous lol. My did that to me as well. But I kept most of them. They were all beat up though. By the time I was old enough too know about really taking care of them I was six years old and that was 1986. So i caught the tail end of it all unfortunately.
This video is really cool, I have many of the figures as a kid and still do today such as: Luke Skywalker Han Solo Chewbacca Darth Vader Stormtroopers (4 of them) Boba Fett Princess Leia Obi-Wan Kenobi Tuskan Raider Jawa Death Squad Commander R5-D4 Greedo Walrus Man Hammerhead Snaggletooth Death Star Droid Power Droid Lando Calrissian Jabba The Hutt The Emperor The Emperor’s Royal Guard Gammorean Guard Bikerscouts (3 of them) Weequay Klatuu Nikto Klatuu Skiff Guard 8D8 Sy Snootles Max Rebo Droopy McCool Bib Fortuna Squid Head Ree Yees And I have more of them I still have them from the 70s and 80s today
@5:48, you have the 2nd run of Han Solo ( the one everybody calls fathead Solo ), not the first one. The commercial you show has the first run in it. I still have my Early Bird figure set and the plain white box they came in.
The Star Wars novelization was the first paperback I bought with my own money back in 1976. Had several figures like Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, and C-3PO, and the Land of the Jawas playset. Ironically, I never had a Han Solo figure, and he's my #1 fave Star Wars character! Also wished I had the Millennium Falcon & Imperial Troop Transporter & Death Star.
I'm 47 years old and still have most of my original Star Wars and ESB toys. No ROTJ stuff though, so at 11 or so, I must have stopped buying them. Thanks for another great video!
This is an absolutely classic line. What Kenner did with Star Wars has forever shaped and changed toy isles around the world. And Star Wars continues on
I got the Early Bird for Christmas when I was 10 years old. One figure I longed for was a Rebel Fleet Trooper that we never got. The first battle we saw was the Stormtroopers vs the Rebel Fleet troopers. A very exciting scene for a 10 year old me. I was never able to play out that battle, unless I used the Death squad commander as Rebel Fleet troopers.
I Never understood why Kenner decided to make the Death Squad Commander instead of the Rebel Fleet Trooper. But yes, with some paint, they became Rebels. LOL.
Got to agree with you on some of Kenners ROTJ and POTF choices - anakin, imperial dignitary, 2 versions of Klaatu!? The 2 glaring omissions were Tarkin and a Y-Wing pilot! We got a great vehicle with no pilot!!
I started collecting them in 1978 and had probably half of them (along with some Star Wars model kits that I built). They sat in my parents loft for some years after I let home, and my mum eventually sold the whole box at her church sale.
I wish I was born in the 70s or 80s! I was born in the early 2000s so I never had a chance to see the peak of popularity of star Wars movies and toys and I wasn't able to collect them normally but it's fun getting and collecting from where I can.
I would really like to see the current retro line do a blockade runner, a TIE Bomber, and maybe a few others. And for retro figures, rebel fleet trooper, rebel pilots, and a wide range of astromechs. Great video!!
I still have my vintage Kenner collection from my childhood, and have some of it on display in my living room today. I actually had the blue Snaggle Tooth with silver boots figure, but I foolishly traded it away to my cousin for the red figure. Had I known as a child that the figure would be valuable today I would have kept it, but at the time I wanted the figure that was more accurate to the movie. Oh well.
I will go into purchasing kenner star wars figures in there packaging on eBay I recently found an advert in the sun newspaper a collector purchased 93 figures at a Tesco store originally priced £1:59
I still have most of those items today, back then I used to use them to reenact scenes from the "Star Wars" movies down to its exact detail and views on how it was shown in the movie as well as the sound effects and tunes after seeing the movies at least thirty times each.
I was not able to purchase the original trilogy Kenner toys but I did get the Power of the Force, which was not near as satisfying. I was able to get my hands on Skiff Guard Lando, Bespin fatigues Luke, and Jedi Luke through a vintage toy store in the early 2000’s
And today we see the modern Disney star wars figures in shops gathering dust. Little boys don't want those figures from the new Disney star wars movies and i don't blame them.
Thanks for this! I have some of these figures now! I found them in a basement from an elderly friend that passed away. I wanted to know the history of them and what they were worth. Thank you for the insight
This is one of your best videos to date. Would be interesting for you to cover the so-called "Star Wars" survival kit: a set of plastic guns, gas masks, and accessories such as backpacks, grappling hooks, and other objects, for use with Kenner figures. I sent away to Kenner for mine in about 1981 and it arrived, LITERALLY, over one year later, but it did arrive! Would love to see you do an episode on that (if you haven't already!). Also, a friend of mine had the rare snaggletooth figure. Of course, we had no idea it would be worth something someday and played with it all the time...out of the package (gasp!).
sad note... I had the cantina playset as a small child...My cousin threw my snaggletooth onto the roof of his apartment building... i was devistated... so eventually my dad got me a single card snaggletooth...i was confused as to why it was so different.. it wasn't until many many years later that i understood what had happened that day.
I am only twelve, I LOVE THE 80S, Y'know Arnold movies, Rambo, Knight Rider, Starsky and Hutch, Back to the Future, police Academy, The Goonies, Ghostbusters and that's not even a quarter of them, and ESPECIALLY STAR WARS!!! I've been collecting Vintage since I was five, in my class I've been called '80s kid' and 'The 1980s and Star Wars Guy' so there my two Nick names, keep up the grand work
It's easy to assume that another company would have picked up the license in 1978, and run with it. It's not like we'd be without vintage 'Star Wars' toys, they'd just be, perhaps, in another form.
My only regret with the Modern figures is they seem so slow to reach stores these days Wave 4 Rogue One figures look ace but they have been delayed again real shame :(. Keep up the great work.
way back when, I went to a collectibles toy fair with my cousin and we saw farm boy Luke still sealed in the package and POTF2 super buff farm boy luke. I was more interested in Lego Star Wars at the time and I took no notice. I wish I did and shoudve got them
I was an Empire kid, loved getting all the imperial figures and ships. Also the micro-machines were probably a bigger interest for me than the figures since the ships were way more accurate to the movie.
Star Wars Episode IV a New Hope forever will be my all time favorite movie & certainly will forever be my favorite Star Wars movie in the series. Glad I have em in a dvd box set. Pop some extra butter microwave popcorn & watch em on a large screen tv. Just some great times for sure!!!
Nope. He's in there. There were actually 2 versions of Sniivians in the Cantina in ANH. The same were used in the Holiday special. However, the photo used on the package for the Snaggletooth, was taken during the shooting of the special.
I guess, once a Star Wars fan, always a Star Wars fan even though the sequel trilogy was garbage. Thank God for the Mandalorian, Clone Wars and Bad Batch series to keep up our interest.
I have the large Darth Vader from 1978. It is in near perfect condition. I have the cape and lightsaber but no box. I am not selling it but have no idea if it is worth anything?
In fact, they don’t really make Star Wars action figures anymore accept for the vintage collection. The vintage collection is okay but they are way too articulated
I liked this before I even watched this Tony, as the content is always brilliant
I just finished my loose Vintage collection this year after starting in 1980. I finally collected them all!
Sweet. I hope u keep them forever.

I loved this! Empire Strikes Back toys ring so much memories... :`(
Well researched. Brings back memories when I bought my first Star wars figure (R2D2) in 1978
Awesome review Tony. Fantastic all the way.
I have sooo many of the first ones. My dad used to collect them. That means I have the first luke!the milinium falcon still works!boba feTT ANDDDDD SOO MUCH MORE
Got to confess that when I go to a car boot sales I always keep an eye out for Snaggle tooth or Bobba Fett

As a child of the '70s I can remember waiting on things, and February 1st until June 1st would have been quite a wait.
Looking back at how young the toy industry was, I'm a little surprised the C-3p0 had such excellent metallic paint.
This is a process called Vacuum Metallization. It’s actually not paint!
In my layman’s understanding I believe that actual metal molecules are applied onto the figure by exposing them both to an extreme vacuum. The gold (or silver or whatever) adheres to the surface.
This is the process used to chrome lots of stuff.
I think I must have had almost every figure and ship, And I remember my mum giving all of it away to a kid down the street. lol

And I have more of them
I still have them from the 70s and 80s today
I also had R2-D2 and C3-PO as a kid and I still have them too
I had red Snaggletooth, not the blue one.

Your inserts are endlessly impressive!
Before the action figures came out, I was inspired by the painted artwork of the characters to draw my own paper character figures (yes, even Biggs!)
Really good job my friend, great narrating simple and interesting.
Seeing the figures then remembering which ones you had ...then remembering hiw stoked you were to have them.
Hoth figures? So cool.
Another great video Tony. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and efforts with us. Keep up the great work.. looking forward to episode 8.
I remember getting the emperor in a mail away offer funny thing in 89 I was in a shop in Blackpool and saw a moulded tray with a dozen emperor figures
I'm 47 years old and still have most of my original Star Wars and ESB toys. No ROTJ stuff though, so at 11 or so, I must have stopped buying them. Thanks for another great video!
Great video. Great to learn the background to the toys I played with
Thanks I feel like a kid again watching this. the marketing with kids making the commercials was talking directly to their fan base
Great summary of Kenner!..I've watched your videos for a while now. I've started doing vintage Star Wars videos too.
Cool video! I am a loose star wars kenner collector!

Toy Aisle Alliance I KNOW RIGHT!!!!
Great stuff! I never knew that the 3.75 size was determined by their play-set and vehicle ambitions, that's a fine piece of knowledge right there!
Tim Chorle well that and the oil crisis of the 1970s that made plastic materials ever more expensive
Excellent work, mate. Very well presented. Awesome shirt.
Awesome video Tony, I got goosebumps saying "i had that" "i didn't had that" "i want that" 😂
Great video man, can't wait for the next one 👍🏼
Fantastic overview and video. I had most of these, then I moved out and mom gave it all to a local junkman.
I would really like to see the current retro line do a blockade runner, a TIE Bomber, and maybe a few others. And for retro figures, rebel fleet trooper, rebel pilots, and a wide range of astromechs. Great video!!
This is a Really good video to show to so,women to explain this. Short, informative, well done, and entertaining. Great job Tony!

I loved the vintage figurine from back in the days I got most of the films not the very new ones but one for them
This makes me want to go to the toy aisle and buy THESE star wars toys

I love the dignitary.
Had all of them. Have the actual small head Han Solo which would have been worth thousands but of course took it out of the package.
I just started collecting the ones my older brothers had...
Can you imagine what would happen if Kenner passed on Star Wars?
Too weird!
Mego did and they survived just fine. Oh, wait......
It's easy to assume that another company would have picked up the license in 1978, and run with it. It's not like we'd be without vintage 'Star Wars' toys, they'd just be, perhaps, in another form.
Despite their millions of $s from Star Wars, Kenner got gobbled up by Hasbro in the end anyway...
Great video👍🏼
Thanks my friend!
Just discovered this channel, GREAT content!
BigAndysCollectibles thanks mate. How did you find the channel?
I am always searching for Star War toy videos!
Awesome toys

Thanks very much mate! Please share the video where ever you can
No problem, will do, can beat a good Star Wars info video
Thanks my friend!
My only regret with the Modern figures is they seem so slow to reach stores these days Wave 4 Rogue One figures look ace but they have been delayed again real shame :(. Keep up the great work.
My death star playset was the circular one with trash compactor.. Worth masses now.. Lord knows what happened to it. I'm 47 now. Lol
You're awesome man!
So are you man!
Great job dude!!
way back when, I went to a collectibles toy fair with my cousin and we saw farm boy Luke still sealed in the package and POTF2 super buff farm boy luke. I was more interested in Lego Star Wars at the time and I took no notice. I wish I did and shoudve got them
the mandela effect c3po 1 leg is now silver colored in the movies , somehow they are not changed with some toy lines >:=)
I had a 12 inch Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker action figures. The small figures I never collected.
I will go into purchasing kenner star wars figures on eBay in the next few days
I was an Empire kid, loved getting all the imperial figures and ships. Also the micro-machines were probably a bigger interest for me than the figures since the ships were way more accurate to the movie.
The blockade runner is one of the greatest spaceships ever designed

*Fun fact:*
Red Snaggletooth isnt even in 'A New Hope'.
He is actually in the Holiday Special!
Jonny 5 huh? He’s in the cantina in A New Hope
@@gonzowood1 I think that's a different creature
Nope. He's in there. There were actually 2 versions of Sniivians in the Cantina in ANH. The same were used in the Holiday special. However, the photo used on the package for the Snaggletooth, was taken during the shooting of the special.
What's with the 4 dislikes? This video should have 10,000 likes and 0 Trekkies ruining the fun. 🤣
No joke in my basement I have a scout trooper that is still white it is not mine but I am amazed
If I only had stock in Kenner before 1976 I'd be a millionaire today.
That commercial at the end gave me Nam flashbacks.
i vaguely remember Luke (Jedi) being released with a blue saber
also wondering why kenner took 3 movies to get Luke's saber the correct color
I guess, once a Star Wars fan, always a Star Wars fan even though the sequel trilogy was garbage. Thank God for the Mandalorian, Clone Wars and Bad Batch series to keep up our interest.
I'd like to see a video on Yak Face
I have the large Darth Vader from 1978. It is in near perfect condition. I have the cape and lightsaber but no box. I am not selling it but have no idea if it is worth anything?
If you like it; it is worth something to you. If you're not going to sell it, that's the only value of importance.
Yes yes.. and Battlestar Galactica and Buck rogers was just as good and free on TV!
Mego would probably still be in business today, if they jumped on the toy rights!
Totally agree dude, that decision cost them big time!
Truth!
mattel said no too haha
Not necessarily, if they stuck with the 8/12" design. The action figure renaissance as we know it might never have happened.
Hi where you buy that shirt at?
I don't know where you get your info, but Mego's Planet of the Apes figures were a huge hit!
What is that display at 6:38? Were those figures made? I have never seen or heard of this, any info please!

If only we knew how things would go and what value our cheapo plastic toys would have in modern times.
In fact, they don’t really make Star Wars action figures anymore accept for the vintage collection. The vintage collection is okay but they are way too articulated
